SETTERS FAIL TO MAKE COMEBACK AGAINST FALCONS

WALTHAM, MA- The Setters fell in Northeast-10 Conference action this afternoon to the Bentley University Falcons by a 5-2 score. Pace falls to 6-16 overall and 2-8 in the Northeast-10 Conference this season, while Bentley improves to 12-13 overall and 7-3 in conference play.

The Falcons took an early lead by pushing across one run in the bottom of the first after a muffed throw. Bentley would continue to score at least one run over the next three innings (two runs in the bottom of the second) to take an early 5-0 advantage.

The Setters would finally strike in the top half of the fifth inning when Patrick Chaputian (Sea Cliff, NY/North Shore) (Sea Cliff, NY/North Shore) led the inning off with a single. A one out single by Michael Rodriguez (East Hampton, NY/East Hampton) (East Hampton, NY/East Hampton) would move Chaputian to third. Chaputian would eventually score after Chris Spatkowski (Bristol, CT/Bristol Eastern) reached base on a fielder's choice to make the score 5-1.

Pace would tag on another run in the top half of the eighth after Mike Torello (Cheshire, CT/Cheshire) (Cheshire, CT/Cheshire) scored from first after a two out double by Tyler Hart (Poughquag, NY/Arlington) (Poughquag, NY/Arlington). Unfortunately this deficit was too much for Pace to overcome as Bentley held on for the three run win.

Chris Camastro (Lagrangeville, NY/Arlington) (Lagrangeville, NY/Arlington) (0-2) started the game for Pace lasting 7 1/3 innings giving up five runs (three earned) on eight hits, and five strikeouts.

The Setters return to action tomorrow when they continue their five game road trip when the team travels to Manchester, NH for NE-10 doubleheader against the Penmen of Southern New Hampshire University, set to begin at noon.
